A solar panel will work, as long as you have a battery for it to charge. Using a panel on its own won't work well. There will be too many fluctuations in power that could be an issue for charging electronics. So as long as you currently have a 12v battery to charge, the best bang for your buck for solar is this one:

I believe it is $180-190 in store. Another alternative is this one at Canadian Tire.
Link It often goes on sale for $100. (Currently a two pack of them is on for $150.)
However for just a charge pack, I have one of these:

Should be great for charging electronics, and small drain devices like that. I have one that is at least 6 years old, and it replaced one that was around 8 years old. Most of the people that have problems with it seem to have used it for it's max capacity. It isn't good for that; it's good for what you describe.
Or get the power pack and the solar panel, and you'll be set.
